Downloading from iTunes with Windows Vista

I just purchased my iPod video and i am tring to download a free episode of something and it is saying that it is going to take 132 hours for it to download. I am using windows vista and i was wondering if this was a normal thing or if there was anything that i could do about it. Thank you in advance for anything that you can do to help me.

Apple, apparently, had a fix up for an earlier version of itunes, but that is gone from the web page, and has been yanked.
Yes, there are big problems with iTunes for Windows. Until these are rectified, your Ipod will be a paper weight.

  • DESPERATE! IPOD NOT SHOWING IN ITUNES WITH WINDOWS VISTA.

    I recently bought a new Dell Dimension E520 which came with windows vista pre installed. I seem to be one of many people having problems with it!
    Newest version of Itunes (7.1) is installed and working fine. When I plug my IPOD nano in however nothing happens. It is visible in the device manager on my PC but doesn't show in itunes.
    I've been to the apple store and they said that the new itunes should fix the problem but it hasn't. they've checked my nano and it is fully up to date.
    I know it is a driver problem but i have absolutely no idea what i'm looking for when i go to the support section on this website!
    the reason I bought a new PC was that my old computer wouldn't download the new itunes and therefore i couldn't access the store or any songs bought from the store on my nano (plus it was 14 years old). it did however actually recognise my IPOD!
    It's been nearly 6 months since i've been able to update my ipod with songs and i'm getting desperate!!!! please can anyone help??

    iTunes does not yet support Windows Vista. There are numerous problems running iTunes on it. The latest release of iTuens 7.1 fixed some of them but not all.

  • Syncing iPod in iTunes with Windows Vista

    I have the latest version of iTunes.
    I upgraded from XP to Vista.
    iTunes was syncing my iPod fine before the upgrade.
    After I upgraded, iTunes worked fine (although taking up a huge amount of RAM) but syncing my iPod happened like this:
    iTunes would recognize the iPod and seem to start syncing but would just sit for 30 to 40 minutes, iTunes extremely slow. Then, after 45 minutes, iTunes would finally begin syncing and finish in a normal time.
    It's been like this for a month now and I'm going crazy.
    I'm really dissapointed, not only because Apple took forever to release an update to iTunes that would work with Vista, but also because the update barely fixed anything.
    I'm not even going to bother wasting my time calling customer support.
    Any sort of assistance would be greatly appreciated!

  • Importing CD's into itunes with windows vista

    I am having some trouble importing my cd's into itunes. When I insert the cd, it it recognized, and gives me the option to import. When I click yes, it imports the entire cd in about 5 seconds. When I go to play the songs added to my library, they are all 1 second long, and no sound plays. It also does the same thing when i try to play the song directly from the cd. It just goes from track to track every second.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, and still get the same problem. It is not my DVD drive, as the same cds import and play in windows media player. I am running windows vista home premium. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Problem Updating iTunes with Windows Vista

  • Can't use iTunes with Windows Vista Home Premium

    I have deleted and reinstalled so many times, so i tried the compatibility settings and set it to work for Windows XP(Service Pack 2) with 256 colours. It works, but it messes up all my colours.
    Help, please.
    (My brother got iTunes working on his Windows Vista Home Premium laptop, but it won't work for the desktop computer.)

    i think the file name quicktime.msi is causing the problem
    also forgot to add that installation stops when the status turns to computing space requirements

  • I CAN'T EDIT MY MUSIC LIBRARY IN iTunes WITH WINDOWS VISTA!!!!

    I add my music carpets to iTunes and when I tried to edit any song, all data were in gray color and disabled. What happened? Does anbody know? I've already change many options in the Edition/Preferences menu, but nothing happened.
    Thank you very much and i hope that anybody could help me

    It is a Vista permissions issue. Give yourself FULL control over any folders with music. You might need it on the parent folders,too.

  • Issues Using iTunes with Windows Vista 64bit

    Wondering whether anyone has faced below mentioned problems and any suggestions thereof:
    1.Most of times when I launch iTunes, the UI does not appear for many minutes, sometime extending to 5 - 10 minutes. I could see iTunes running in the Windows Task Manager, but without the UI appearing. Sometime relaunching the application does the trick, but most of the doesn't.
    2.When I connect iPod (Classic), iTunes sort of freezes up, again sometime extending to multiple of minutes. In that process it also freezes up other applications e.g. Firefox browser. I cannot do anything on my laptop during that time.
    Any help

  • Installing iTunes with Windows Vista Ultimate

    I have tried to install iTunes most recent version and others earlier with on my HP Pavillion and I keep getting a message that says I will not be able to import or burn CDs because iTunes did not install correctly. I have the *Windows Vista Ultimate* operating system. Any reason why this is happening?

    Hi Innonut;
    You are asking your iTune question on the Leopard forum. If you would report in the Windows iTunes Forum, you might get more response there.

  • Why, I can't transfer apps (games) that i've download from iTunes with my computer to my iPad?I already did before like authorization my computer, sync, backup files. But when I want to transfer apps, it's can't. Any clues?

    I can't transfer apps ( games ) from my iTunes library with my PC computer to my iPad. I already authorized computer, sync, but it can't installed apps that I've dowload before with my computer from iTunes to my iPad. Why?

    Hi all for those still poping over to this topic, here is one problem that has not highlighted in the forums.
    if you have used different accounts to download different apps into your ipad/iphone you need to authorize the computer for both accounts.
    eg. [email protected] downloaded 'angry birds' and [email protected] downloaded 'money converter' both accounts need to be authorized on the computer will you then be able to transfer all the apps.
    this works if you also used more then 3 accounts to download apps to your ipad/iphone. if you can't remember which accounts downloaded then i can't really help you there haha.
    hope this helps!

  • Burning a CD downloaded from iTunes with Apple Lossless

    As the subject says, I am trying to figure out how to burn the highest quality audio CD from an album purchased from iTunes. I've seen other articles that speak of the Apple Lossless, but have not been able to find it on the program anywhere. Does anyone know, is it possible to burn a high quality audio CD, using Lossless or something similar, from something bought from iTunes?
    I tried to search the forums for an answer on this and came up empty, my apologies if I missed something and this has come up previously. Thank you for your help!

    Regardless of what format the songs in the library are, when you burn a list of songs using the Audio CD setting it is automatically formatted to normal CD standard so the disc will play in regular players. Converting your iTunes Plus (AAC) formatted songs to lossless prior to burning would make no difference to the sound quality. You would only have a quality difference if the songs had been ripped/created in lossless format in the first place. Converting from a lossy format such as AAC to a lossless format such Apple Lossless can't add back the information already discarded when the file was compressed.
